Ive been meaning to do these for the longest time and I finally got around to doing it! I absolutely love them! I think would be really cool if they had red underneath like the Louboutin nails but my nails are too short 🙁

And I noticed they matched my wallet when I was shopping yesterday so I took a picture with it 🙂

And Ive just done a guest post for Nev at Nevorpurify! She has amazing nail art and is blogging about nail school as well! Make sure to read her nail school posts, she has a lot of great info! 🙂

I used gel for these because I’ve beeb really busy with clients lately so I don’t want them to get ruined… and I haven’t had time to do them much recently. This is 4 coats of OPI Bubble Bath as a base and acrylic paint for lace. And some Swarovski crystals for a little bling.

These are my sisters nails. The theme was a masquerade and her dress was black and red so this is what we came up with.. Lace, bows, corsets, flowers, masks. and a bunch of rhinestones.

Herews some pics that I took before they left and made her stick her nails in there.

I think she’s gonna do a blog post about her makeup since she hasn’t posted in a million years so you can look over there within the next few days if yaaaawant.

Merry Christmas Eve Eve!! Todays post is The Grinch Nails! I’ve been meaning to do a few more Christmas designs but I’ve had so many clients this week I didn’t have a chance until yesterday. So heres a quick post to show you my Grinch nails!

Helllooooo everyone! Today I have some Thanksgiving nails to show you! This is part 1 because Ill have mine, my sisters, and my moms festive nails coming later in the week. For now, I have this set to show you! I did these for one of my friends last night and they came out really cute. Also there may be a mishap with a garment steamer. read on!

Here they are! These are a full set of acrylics and then I painted some leaves, an indian, some pies, and a cornucopia!

And…

A turkey of course! At first he had no feathers and looked like a potato, now he kind of reminds me of a chicken nugget so thats what we named him. Haha. I have to note though that the adhesive they use for these just does not like water and humid environments. I used my garment steamer for a few minutes and the nails just started peeling off.

The whole time we were doing these we couldn’t get the new “Its Thanksgiving” song out of our heads. So annoying! Lol. If you havent heard it yet, its basically “Friday” by Rebecca Black in Thanksgiving form.. Go watch it, or don’t.. you might regret it 😉 Haha

Helloooo blog! Happy almost Halloween!! Today I have another OPI post, this time using their Nordic Gel Color collection. As soon as I opened the box I spotted the perfect pumpkin orange and I knew what I was going to do. Light up jack-o-lantern!

I sculpted my pumpkin out of acrylics and used “Cant aFjord Not to” as my pumpkin color. I used “Going My Way or Norway” and “Ice-Bergers and Fries” to give the my pumpkin some dimension inside the grooves and the painted my stem. I added “OPI With a Nice Finn-ish” to the insides of the cutouts to add a shimmery glow coming from inside the pumpkin. For the background I used “Skating on Thin Iceland” which as an awesome deep purpley eggplant! I cured everything with my OPI LED light.

I used some blinking yellow lights to add the finishing touches because every jack-o-lantern needs a light.

As usual, the formula on these are great. Everything was complete full coverage in 2 coats. If you haven’t checked these out yet then you definitely should.. like now. For more information about GelColor by OPI,you can visit pro.opi.com!

Today I have Candyland Nails!! I loovvvveee these. I really realllyy realllyyy love them! Blueemster on instagram is having a candy contest and I immediately thought of Candyland! It was probably my favorite game when I was younger and I just love all of the characters. Queen Frostine is obviously my favorite since shes and queen of snowflakes and ice and all the “cold stuff” hahaa. Right up my alley!

So one the pointer is Mr Mint, middle is Queen Frostine of course, ring is Princess Lolly, and my pinkie is Gloppy. I used a white polish as a base for all of them and then did everything with acrylic paint.

These actually didn’t take me that long either! Overall it was probably about 13 hours which probably seems ridiculous but to me thats fast! Considering my Alice in Wonderland nails probably took me close to 30.. I just stopped keeping track after a while. Lol I guess I’m getting a little faster..

Soooo those are my Candyland nails! I love them. I wish they were actually on my nails so I could wear them. I love using tips so I get to keep them on my nail board but I hate that I cant actually wear them on my own nails. :/

Anywayssss.. speaking of contests. Im having a 90s nail art contest on my instagram to celebrate 3000 followers!! You can look up #lexloves90srules on there for more info if you’re interested in entering!

So first off, I know I said I had some more Shimmer polish coming last week… I wasnt really loving the pictures I took so I reswatched it and took them again. And now I have to re-edit. So they’ll be up sometime

this

week. That being said, heres my “I was too lazy/I had no time to do my nails” nails. I dont know why but I was just really in the mood for baby blues nails. I used my favorite baby blue, Sephora by OPI Havana Dreams.

I lovvvvvveeee the color of this. Im on my second bottle! And I have never really finished a bottle of polish before except this one. And OPI Mad As A Hatter. Anywayssss, Havana Dreams is a baby blue but its not so milky and white like Essie Borrowed & Blue, which I also really love. The only downside to this is its pretty sheer. I need 4 coats for full coverage. Regardless, I think this is one of my favorite polishes ever. And thats saying alot since I have almost 1400….

I reallllllly need to do some nail art. It kills me to have plain nails. lol. I honestly have no idea what I want to do next though. I usually have some ideas floating around up there but my brain is empty right now.

Check back this week for some Shimmer Polish! I really mean it this time…. haha. And hopefully I’ll come up with something to put on my nails!

Finally! I have some more Shimmer Polish to show you! Todays pick is Alessandra. I chose to try this one next because its one of my cousins names and she was so excited when I showed her. Its not a polish I would tend to pick out for myself but I actually ended up reallyyyy liking it.

I layered it over China Glaze Crimson Bow? Ribbon? I dont know.. One of those. Lol. Its basically a deep crimsony maroon red. I used 2 coats of each. The formula on this was great and easy use. Cindy really does a great job with getting awesome coverage without the polish being thick or gloopy.

Alessandra is described as “a coral red mix”. Theres a mix of red, orange, and blue/teal glitters. I think the blue and orange combo is what made my like it so much. Clearly, I have an obsession.

I decided to add a cute little polka dot bow to it. I used a similar robins egg blue color to the glitter in the polish.

I don’t know why my cuticles look red in this picture but it annoys me. None of the other pictures look like this and they weren’t red in real life so idunnnoooo.

So thats Alessandra! I have a bunch more coming so keep checking back for more Shimmer swatches! You can buy Shimmer Polish
